Alternatives to SBS

-

hi folks,

since there no more sbs variant of current ms server technology , there thousands of sbs 2003 servers reach eol in 2015 many smbs have alternatives. 1 sbs 2011, still available, not feel comfortable in using technology not represent state of art. have familiar server 2012. 1 possible scenario replacing sbs 2003 setting relatively low cost server 2012 essentials , move exchange services cloud (hosted exchange and/or office 365). there few clients want see data beeing outsourced these days.

think have used "sbs 2012" option: hyper-v core installation 1 vm dc , 1 exchange server. appreciate short advices of have experience that:

1. advisable 2012-novice (with esxi experience) dare hyper-v-core-installation 2 vms or there many caveats?

2. construction stable , reliable sbs 2003 / 2011 was?

lot in advance comment , regards,
stefano

microsoft pushing cloud os vision , office365 , why went way. office365 great product btw ( don't work ms). 

with regards questions use server 2012 standard edition , install hyper-v role, on have couple of vm's running on - example dc , exchcange say. 1 2012r2 standard licence give virtualisation rights install 2 vm's on host long host used hyper-v , mother else. 

with regards core install, server 2012 gives cool functionality can install , server setup full gui interface, , once done can remove gui , revert core mode server. if need further config, can reinstall gui - its' done role managed through server manager.

no need use esxi when have hyper-v built in. 

i've never used sbs 2003 / 2011 - 2012 solid os , platform no need worry there.
